following the relegation of his previous team, 1. FC Köln
, on 9 May 2006.
At the end of the season of 2006-07, he announced that had come to an agreement about his move to Schalke
. Eintracht manager Friedhelm Funkel benched him for a few matches, arguing Streit would not train well. After an accord between Streit and Eintracht executive Heribert Bruchhagen
he would have been allowed to move to Schalke if Streit would play hard in the final matches. The transfer finally failed because Schalke executive Andreas Müller
refused to pay more than €
2 million and Eintracht clearly turned down the offer.
